Do you want to boil the vinegar for making Laba garlic?
It can be boiled or directly brewed with cold vinegar, mainly depending on personal practices and taste preferences.
Prepare 2 bags of rice vinegar, pour it into the pot, add a little crystal sugar and a little salt, boil the vinegar with medium heat (Laba garlic will be more brittle when marinated with salt and crystal sugar), then put it in a ventilated place to cool, then pour the vinegar into garlic to make it less than garlic, cover and seal it.
Be careful:
1, pickled laba garlic should use rice vinegar, not old vinegar. Garlic pickled with old vinegar will turn black.
2. Use rock sugar instead of white sugar. Garlic pickled with rock sugar is more crisp and sweet.

Rice vinegar or aged vinegar for laba garlic?
1. It is best to use rice vinegar.
Generally speaking, there are many people who use rice vinegar, but they can also like to eat old vinegar. There are no fixed rules for food. I wish I liked it. But just pay attention to the production steps. Rice vinegar is light in color, soaked in garlic with the same color, orange, yellow and green, moderate in sour and spicy, and rich in fragrance and slightly sweet. Garlic soaked in old vinegar and smoked vinegar is black, and garlic cloves are not green enough. The taste is very bad, especially the smoked vinegar, which is slightly burnt.
2. You can also use aged vinegar.
There is no specific regulation on the use of vinegar, as long as you like it. Every year during the Laba season, many people not only buy new year's goods, but also make a lot of pickles. Put peeled garlic into a sealable container such as a jar or bottle, then pour vinegar, seal it and put it in a cool place. Slowly, garlic soaked in vinegar will turn green, and finally become emerald green.
